Sir Kensington loves Jim, we know that, just does Jim love SK?
Very funny. Eating some as we type (on a Bubby's burger - I'm living the bachelor lifestyle this week). I do like it. But it doesn't make me not like Helmans.
To belabor the point: the Kensington's is great, but it almost has too much taste for me. Like I'm eating a burger and mayonnaise. But I don't want that. I want the mayonnaise to be an accompaniment I don't want it to stand out so much. I'm sure in a blind tasting (where you just taste mayonnaise and nothing else) the Kensington's would be much better (much more complex, etc....) But I want something that accompanies food, not that is a good food all on it's own.
On the other hand, I realize Helman's is a mass market product and if I toured their mayonnaise plant I might well never eat it again.
So I always appreciate you trying to coax me out of my (bad) habits.
Okay, last post, I promise. The back story here is that I was drunk one night and made a big deal out of claiming that people (restaurants?) were wasting their time trying to reinvent things that had already been "perfected". I used Helman's mayonnaise and Heinz ketchup as examples. In response Skinny bought me a jar of Sir Kensington's.
Love yah brother!!
